His comrades didn't know what Qin Dongling was thinking, and they were particularly envious of his ability to handle the test with ease.

"Dong Ling, tell me the truth, have you gone to school? How come we can't do it, but you can?"

I thought that everyone was incompetent and would not say much even if they were scolded. But it turned out that Qin Dongling was an exception, and caused them to be scolded for a long time.

"Not in school." Qin Dongling glanced at them.

It's just that a kind-hearted woman taught him something.

Several of my comrades didn't believe it, and I couldn't find any evidence, so I could only continue studying with great difficulty.

Watching the door close, Qin Dongling took out the papers again.

It is said that handwriting reflects the writer's character. The handwriting above is indeed as beautiful as its owner. Even after several months, he has kept it well and there is not a single stain on it.

She loves reading very much. I wonder if I can still see her in the bookstore during this vacation?

It was difficult to decide on a vacation time, and the anxious and busy state lasted for a whole month.

In September of the second month of the year, the war was stable and a literacy campaign was officially issued. All those who could be promoted were required to be literate. After Qin Dongling completed the assessment, he finally had a vacation.

On the other hand, Xu Mei has also been very busy recently.

As one of the first batch of students born after liberation, she had just entered university and was busy participating in various unusual sports. She had not had any free time for a long time.

At that time, students had few problems and were not affected by the movements of the post-1920s. The atmosphere was vigorous and positive, and Xu Mei became a prominent figure as soon as he arrived at the school.

Although there was no concept of school, everyone knew that a very beautiful female student had come to the middle school.

It’s not that no boys expressed their interest in her, but she always politely rejected them. She kept to herself, and her beautiful essays and stories were published in school magazines, which aroused endless speculation.

After Guan Jinghua found out, she smiled and said, "If there's someone suitable, Mom doesn't object."

After leaving the Xu family, the nightmares had less and less impact on her, but during this period, the dark spots under her eyes had returned again.

"Mom, is there someone from the Xu family coming again?" Xu Mei was very worried.

Ever since Xu Mei was admitted to university, Xu Jueping has repeatedly asked Guan Jinghua to bring his daughter home. As his birthday is approaching, he visits more and more often.

Xu Mei was very disdainful of this.

The fact that they were able to find the mother and daughter's address right away showed that their previous indifference was intentional. Now that they suddenly came to their house, it was obvious that they were related to the Chu family.

In this life, she never wanted to have anything to do with Chu Yanlong for money again.

"Well," Guan Jinghua's expression also turned cold, "I gave you a present for your seventeenth birthday."

She motioned her daughter to look at the table, where there was a jade pendant of ordinary color.

Looking at the jade pendant, Xu Mei had a strange expression on her face.

In her memory, this jade pendant had excellent color and was a birthday gift from her father when she was seventeen years old. Later, she discovered that it had great special features.

Now it has changed. Could it be that I was reborn because of it?

Xu Mei couldn't understand the reason, so she tried to drip blood into the room, but the jade pendant didn't react at all, and that piece of space seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

No matter how she tossed it around, it seemed like just an ordinary piece of jade.

Xu Mei looked at the jade pendant with mixed feelings, but she finally chose to wear it around her neck.

She believed that the space had helped her, and she wore it as both a token of gratitude and a reminder. However, after Xu Jueping saw it, her mind completely shifted.

He began to wait at the door more frequently, acting like a kind father. Guan Jinghua was afraid that what happened in the nightmare would happen again, so she told Xu Mei not to come home.

Xu Mei didn't want to have any contact with Xu Jueping, so she lived in the school dormitory for half a month and went to the library to read and write.

It was not until I accidentally saw that the book I borrowed from the bookstore had expired that I quickly packed up my things and prepared to return the book.

Halfway through the journey, a rainstorm suddenly came.

Xu Mei didn't bring an umbrella, so in order to prevent the books from getting wet, she could only wrap them tightly with clothes.

When I finally ran to the bookstore, I was soaked all over, but found that the bookstore was closed.

Xu Mei turned around dejectedly, only to find herself shrouded in the shadow of a figure.

She raised her head and saw Qin Dongling, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

They hadn't seen each other for almost a month, and when they met again, they were really not very polite.

Xu Mei's hair was wet and stuck in clumps. Except for the book in her arms, even her clothes were soaked with water.

Qin Dongling was not in a much better situation. The eaves of the bookstore were very narrow, and his trouser legs were almost completely wet.

Seeing him like this, Xu Mei couldn't help but smile. She wiped the rain off her face and asked, "Did you just get here too?"

The raindrops streaked across her pretty face, making it appear even whiter and brighter. Qin Dongling stared at her intently, "It's been a while."

The atmosphere was broken by the conversation between the two.

Xu Mei said "oh", turned her head to look at the heavy rain outside, and raised the corners of her mouth in a good mood.

She was so glad she had found the book that day and had chosen to return it. Even though she was soaked to the skin now, it was worth it.

"You...don't come to the bookstore anymore?" Qin Dongling asked suddenly.

Xu Mei came to her senses and said, "I've been in the library recently. One day I remembered that I had some books that I hadn't returned."

She quickly glanced at Qin Dongling and said, "I will come and I will come in the future. It's just that my book has expired. The store should open tomorrow..."

"It's been closed for ten days." Qin Dongling said.

Xu Mei was about to nod, but as if she suddenly realized something, she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

She felt lucky to have come back to return the book that day, but perhaps she was not lucky at all.

Instead, Qin Dongling made the waiting days long enough and gave her the opportunity to choose the day to meet.
